f/1.8 vs. f/2 is "... over a stop faster." ? Certainly not in terms of exposure capability. Perhaps you mean in terms of subject isolation, or noise performance/dynamic range (considering also the ...

I concur with the general recommendations from KCook. More specifically, for a beginner on a budget, I'd recommend something like the Canon EOS Rebel SL2 (EOS 200D) rather than anything by Nikon, ...

If not printing too large, or just for web use, she might find use of an "achromatic" doublet (or triplet) close-up lens attachment on a telephoto zoom perfectly satisfactory, in some ways even ...

1) Photographing anything that would significantly benefit from pixel-shift? If so, Pentax and the Sony A7Riii are your only options in full-frame. (I myself had hoped that Nikon would include it ...

Both engineering and economics likely doom your suggestion. Many functions in many electronic devices these days are accomplished via software, not hardware, but there are often external controls ...

D7200 certainly is much more seriously built than D5600, and specs much better in most features -- but is missing the movable rear LCD, which can be highly convenient or even necessary for more ...

Not that I know of, but there might be some hidden data, inaccessable to the user but revealed if some particular signal is input on the data pins. I'd certainly consider creating some hidden area ...

I don't have a clue about whether an 80D successor will be announced at Photokina. Your reasoning makes sense, that with their full-frame mirrorless getting attention, Canon probably wouldn't want ...

All the "one card is enough" folks will keep repeating that until some wedding or other event photographer has a card (in a single-card camera) fail, loses most or the entire shoot, and ends up in ...

I'm not a videographer, but I've done still photography for many decades. Consider what's below as general, common-sense advice, but you really should post in the "Digital Video Talk" forum or ...

If "okay", then why are you looking to change? In what ways are you looking for better? 24MP and your existing lens should be enough for a sharp print at fairly large sizes. While your lens may be ...

I think I have to withdraw or at least amend my recommendation for adapting to Sony E-mount the Sigma 18-35mm Art lens -- particularly because of your stated high interest in video. Looking at the ...

My vote would be to stay with your A6500, unless you NOW find it seriously limiting. It's a very capable camera, that, if you've paid attention to questions on this forum, is already far above ...

Depends what you mean by "always". Usually, most camera manufacturers have some sort of significant sale at least a couple of times per year. But in many locations, to be legally advertised as a ...

In general, whether manual focusing and manual diaphram operation are acceptable to you will depend on 1) whether you will use the optical finder or live view and 2) what you will be ...

You've listed your existing gear -- good that you did, because many people on these forums pose questions without giving any indication of what they have -- but while you've said that there have ...

Almost everything I have read suggests the Sony-Zeiss 16-70mm isn't worth the money optically. For the price of the Zeiss, you could buy the 18-135, plus either a couple of the Sigma f/2.8 primes ...

Your information on the various lenses is potentially very misleading for the people who most need such information -- beginners -- because you did not qualify it based on format. EDIT: looking ...

Apply some cortisone cream. Maybe take an anti-histamine tablet. I find it hard to believe that any of your equipment isn't up to the requirements of a website. I think you might have a bad case of ...

Good shooting with whatever you decide on. It looks like you've thought things through, and with your high interest in printing big -- "the bigger the better", you said -- you can probably make a ...
